Wausau Mayor Doug Diny says he did nothing wrong when he removed a drop box outside City Hall .

The move sparked a protest in the city Tuesday night and anger among drop box advocates.

Diny ran for office on his opposition to absentee ballot drop boxes.

Drop boxes were widely used in 2020 , fueled by a dramatic increase in absentee voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wausau resident Pamela Bannister , speaking at a city council meeting Tuesday night , called for Diny to apologize and return the drop box. “This is the kind of action that’s designed to stir the pot,” Bannister said. “It does not tamp down the rhetoric that we’re all facing in this election cycle. It accomplishes nothing positive and amounts to, in my estimation, voting interference and intimidation.”.
